Family Tuesday Tours at Pius XI
What is the "Tuesday Tour?"
If your student is not yet ready to shadow, or if you would like to have a more personalized tour with a small group, we encourage you to sign up for a family tour. (Please note that the Family Tuesday Tours cover the same areas as a Shadow Day Tour, and both take place when classes are in session. These one hour tours are offered on most Tuesdays in September and October and pre-registration is required.
